I have always thought the time to do the crossword puzzle was too short. Thanks! Now if someone could just do something with the reading times of both the paper and the magazines (hobby and interest based both).

thank you again for doing this. i tried it out yesterday and am very very pleased. lola sat for hours burried in the puzzle, though i did have to direct her to do it. i'm sure if i had less attractive stuff around she'd have done it on her own. i really appreciated this.

Wow, this is great. I was always annoyed of the short time in which a sim does the crossword... Thanks!

Much needed. Telescopes and chess boards don't suit every sim.
Thanks so much!!

I've been using this for the last few play sessions and while I did really like it, it stopped my Sims from using the newspaper in most others ways ie. Finding a Job, reading about Fun and Games and general Hobby Enthusiasm and just reading in general. My Sims will just stop doing the action.

It was fun while it lasted.

It sounded like you have a mod conflict with another mod affecting your Sim or the interactions itself whether it be a newspaper, book or something else.

This mod has nothing to do with the newspaper interactions because it is a BCON-based mod I used to adjust the Fun motive values and the length of time doing the crossword puzzle.

I suggest using Simwardrobe (Paladin)'s HCDU to find the conflict(s) to resolve.

It's nice. I wanted something like this.
It would be wonderful if there was a magazine for only crossword puzzles and that you could use it forever. I don't know whether that's possible to make?

Thank you! It really annoyed me that the crossword time is so short. It's a great solution if your sim is broke or can't use the telescope. :3

Did you start working on this already?
Or may I start working on it?

I don't do Sims 2 modding much these days, but I am curious if you have an idea making simply a crossword puzzle magazine.

I would just love it. Or a sudoku magazine or something. Or like a magazine with mathproblems for kids and teens. If only someone could do that.
